HC Deb 05 February 1908 vol 183 cc866-7
EARL WINTERTON

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General whether the Public Prosecutor proposes to take any action in the matter of the recent riot and destruction to property at Newton Abbot.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir W. ROBSON,) South Shields

This matter is entirely one for the local police. Since the noble Lord put his Question down they have taken what, I believe, to be adequate action.
